When Will There Be Good News? (English)

Kate Atkinson, a writer appreciated for her magical humor and imaginative storytelling, concocts a richly nuanced and subtle murder mystery. In her sixth novel, she mixes together several stories and lots of allusions--to other writings, popular music, movies; she also brings back Detective Jackson Brodie, featured in CASE HISTORIES and ONE GOOD TURN. Loaded with characters struggling with complex pasts and a plot line that never settles down, WHEN WILL THERE BE GOOD NEWS? offers much more than a great detective story. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of 2008 and as one of the 2008 Best Books of the Year by Publishers Weekly. minimize
